wow so i went to the company of heroes subreddit.

nerd rage everywhere. apparently COH2 is Pay2win?

no, just no.

yeah, day 1 dlc is kinda meh but whatever.

heres a good response

quote:I don't see how you can think this game is pay to win. Sure, there are some new commanders that you can buy, but those are simply the commanders that you get from pre-ordering. Wouldn't it be unfair if people that didn't pre-order not have the choice to get these commanders? If you think that these commanders give you an advantage, does this make CoH2 preorder-to-win?

The commanders themselves are not game-breaking at all. All the abilities are available in the free commanders. If you actually looked at them, none of them will make it pay-to-win.

can it? im reading further. trying to comprehend. i preordered so i got everything and give 0 fricks. But i could see someone dropping $60 today only to realize there are more commanders that can be bought, might be a bit turned off by that.

even still, coh2 is way more about skill and micro and strategy anyways

It feels like there isn't a hard counter to some Russian units at the moment. The T70 and M3 Halftrack come to mind, PGs don't work on T70 because they get chewed up by the gun and same with the pak because it can waltz around it. A sniper halftrack requires an extraordinary amount of effort to counter as well.
